Long before science, there were older truths, whispered by witches, guarded by cults, and written in blood. In this sinister anthology, H. P. Lovecraft explores the shadowy world of ancient rites, folk horror, and inherited blasphemies. Here, strange festivals unfold under full moons, forgotten gods stir in rural hills, and knowledge forbidden by time itself reawakens. These stories draw from the primal roots of myth and superstition, where the line between folklore and fact is not just thin, but burning.

In the fog-filled streets of Victorian London, Christmas Eve brings anything but peace to Jason Gibson, a reclusive dollmaker whose life is confined to his dim, solitary workshop. Tasked with a strange, urgent commission from the mysterious Mrs. Wicklow, Jason accepts her daunting terms, three unique, perfect dolls by dawn, in exchange for an unimaginable sum. But as midnight strikes, Jason’s task spirals into something far darker. Each doll he crafts takes on a life of its own, expressions twisted with sorrow, fear, and haunting malice.

This is a fictional short story of a man’s life and death. The Greeks got it right long ago. Many aspects of our lives are tragic. The Father/son relationship – such an unsavory mix of love and hate. Pride and shame. Support and competition. Wouldn’t it stand to reason that what plays out in the family, also plays out on the world stage. And here, in as few words as possible, the irony of ironies is laid out in a narrative. An often humorous narrative. The son ponders the uncomfortable juncture of mid-life as his father tries coming to terms with his final days of life.

All nine-year-old Alexandria Hendricks wanted was to save her friend, so she made a deal with the darkness. But magick always comes with a price, and her good intentions will cost her so much more than she bargained for. Eighteen years later, the demon is back to claim his prize: her soul. However, there’s a new offer on the table, one that might spare her from eternal torment. The catch? She has only forty-eight hours to complete his task. Worse yet, she isn’t the only one harboring secrets.

Composed of thirteen indelible stories, Roberto Bolaño’s The Return is preoccupied with ghosts: troubled souls haunting society’s margins, lovers lost to the ages, young men who no longer recognize themselves in the mirror, fresh corpses afforded no peace, departed poets who visit us in dreams. These tales capture the extremes of human experience—sex, violence, death—and the mundane acts that linger in between, with Bolaño’s inimitable mordant humor and trenchant insight into what drives us.

An aging Buenos Aires judge retires to the family ranch in the Pampas to battle feral rabbits and reclaim the dignity of the gaucho life. A detective investigates a series of grisly murders—among his fellow sewer rats. An obscure Argentinian novelist journeys to Paris to face down the filmmaker who has been plagiarizing his work for years. Riffing on Borges and Kafka yet utterly and inimitably Bolaño, the stories of The Insufferable Gaucho are a testament to his mastery of the short form.

These 25 tales of the macabre and the bizarre feature an assortment of menacing minions, from hitchhiking ghosts to sentient scarecrows to vindictive vending machines. A washed-up star from a children's television show is hired to appear at a mysterious gathering. A woman returning home for the holidays finds herself drawn into a strange Christmas village. Two girls bond at summer camp, only to learn that they each harbor a dark secret. An ideal job comes with a shocking drawback. Don't expect formula from these stories.

There are secrets beneath the waves ... older than mankind, and hungry still. In this salt-soaked collection, H. P. Lovecraft conjures horrors from the deep: ancient beings that slumber beneath black seas, forgotten isles lost to time, and coastal towns whose bloodlines trace back to something not entirely human. Each tale explores the terror of isolation—geographical and existential—as characters find themselves adrift in waters not meant to be charted. Whether wrecked on a strange shore or pulled downward by unseen forces, the fate is the same: madness, revelation … or worse.

Nel corridoio buio la veste nera della suora quasi si confonde. A passetti veloci, sui piedini calzati nelle pianelle di feltro, si scapicolla Suor Teresa. Porta con sé una bugia e protegge la fiammella della candela con la mano. Gli occhi sono spalancati che sembrano due taralli. Di fronte a una porta si blocca. La manina bianca si stringe in un pugno grande come una noce poi attacca con vigore un concitato toc toc.

Quella sera la casa di Ferruccio era più quieta del solito.

Mancava poco alla mezzanotte.
